METHOD FOR PREDICTING OCCURRENCE OF IMMUNE-RELATED ADVERSE EVENTS INDUCED BY HLA TYPE-BASED CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY AGENT
Abstract:
A method for predicting the occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by an HLA type-based cancer immunotherapy agent. The method involves determining copy number variations (CNVs) of the HLA gene, such as HLA-B exon 2 deficiency, or HLA alleles such as HLA-B*35:01, HLA-B*40:02, HLA-B*54:01, or detecting an allele of an HLA gene selected from HLA-B*35:01, HLA-B*40:02, and HLA-B*54:01, in a biological sample isolated from a subject, and treating the cancer immunotherapy-induced irAE in the subject by administering to the subject a corticosteroid or immunosuppressant.
